What a great day! Both groups blew me away with how well behaved they were.
The morning group - Cash, Copper R., Frank, Joey, Rover, Whistler, Ryder, Bruin, Wilbur and Everest were so calm. There were no squabbles, fights or disagreements from any of them. Highly unusual as someone is always complaining about where they have to sit in the truck and who is beside them, who is touching them or looking at them. You know, typical sibling stuff.
Frank loved it when I picked up a pile of soft snow and tossed it at him. He jumped to try and catch it but missed most of it or it landed on his head. He got so excited and animated and kept coming back for more.
Ryder had some wired behaviour today. I caught him so jazzed up that he was running full speed in huge circles around the pack. I think it may be because he saw his human "girl friends" and wanted to show off. Either way it was pretty cute. And the cuteness continued at home where he touched noses with the Rudolph on his porch.
The afternoon group welcomed LuLu. She is Sierra's new one-year-old sister. She is Catahula Leopard dog and really sweet. She listens very well and melted into the pack like she had been with us forever.
LuLu is the type of dog that gets along with all the other dogs and that was no small feat as almost the entire pack was females today. My girls all have strong personalities. Gabby, Pina, Sam, Josie, Taylor and Olive all took turns wrestling and chasing her. She could even handle Sidney who loves a good MMA inspired wrestling match.
My poor little emo Josie. Some how she got separated from the pack for maybe five or six minutes. I have to give her credit for her behaviour after the separation. She, like all good hikers, knew to stay put until help came to her. She played out this lesson so well that even when we all came around the corner and I was calling her she sat absolutely still and did not move a muscle until a nice man took hold of her leash and walked her to the pack. Once reunited she was all wiggles and tail wags and they stuck to my leg like Velcro.
I love my funny, furry and oh, so sweet friends.
